About this study

Official title: Treatment of Advanced Colorectal or Pancreatic Cancer With Anti-CD3 x Anti-EGFR-Armed Activated T-Cells (Phase Ib)

The purpose of this research study is for the participant to give their own T cells (a type of blood cell in the body that can fight infections and possibly cancer) to them after they have been removed, grown in a lab, and then coated with an experimental drug.

This study will determine the highest dose of EGFR2Bi coated T cells that can be given without causing severe side effects. Initially a group of 3 participants will receive the same dose of study drug. If no serious side effects occur, the next group of participants will receive a slightly higher dose of study agent. The following groups of participants will receive higher doses of the study drug until a dose is reached where there are unacceptable side effects and maximum tolerated dose is found, or the planned highest dose level is reached with no side effects.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine in a dose-escalation phase Ib trial the safety of 3 infusions of EGFR2Bi armed activated T cells (aATC), after chemotherapy, for patients with advanced colorectal and pancreatic cancer

Being tested
FOLFOX6, EGFRBi armed ATC Infusions
Medical subject headings
Colorectal Neoplasms, Pancreatic Neoplasms, Colonic Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FOLFOX6Drug

    Also called leucovorin (FOLinic acid), Fluorouracil, OXaliplatin

    IV administration of 85 mb/m(2) oxaliplatin and 400 mg/m(2) leucovorin over 120 mins, followed by 400 mg/m(2) 5-fluorouracil (FU) bolus then 2400 mg/m(2) 5-FU as a 46 hr infusion. All patients must have central intravenous acess (e.g. mediport, PICC line) for continuous infusion of 5-FU. Adv. colorectal and pancreatic pts. w/no other standard chemo available, \& in pts who cannot receive FOLFOX chemo, immunotherapy may be given w/o antecedent chemo.

  • EGFRBi armed ATC InfusionsBiological

    Armed ATC will be infused intravenously (IV) with the rate of infusion based on the endotoxin content of the product. All patients will be observed for at least 4 hours after an infusion. Armed ATC infusions will begin 3 weeks after chemotherapy and subsequent doses will be administered once weekly, for 3 weeks, then 12 weeks post aATC#1. Dose escalation level(per infusion): Level 0-5 billion; Level 1-10 billion; Level 2-20 billion; Level 3-40 billion

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determining in a dose-escalation phase Ib trial the safety of 3 infusions of EGFR2Bi aATC, and a booster infusion after 3 months, for patients with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer.

    Participants will be assessed for changes in lab values (CBC, Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate, glucose,BUN, creatinine, total Protein, albumin, total bilirubin, ALP, AST,ALT, CEA or CA 19-9.

    Measured: 4 wks after chemo, prior to ATC infusion #2; 1 wk later prior to ATC infusion #3; Wks 2, 4 & 9 post ATC infusion #3; Wk 8 post ATC #4 (booster)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determining whether IMT enhances anti-tumor immunity;Cytokine resp., phenotypic markers, anti-tumor cytotoxicity, in vivo and in vitro specific anti-tumor antibody prod. & molecular signaling markers of T-cell activation assessed before chemo & after IMT

    Immune studies: Serum cytokine responses will be quantified focus on the levels of those factors known to be important regulators of T cell responses. Phenotype analysis will measure the percent of T, B, NKT and NK cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) samples. T cell proportions would be further analyzed by subset (CD4, CD8, CD25+). Cytotoxicity is measured in percentage in PBMC.

    Measured: 3 weeks after chemo prior to ATC infusion #1; At wks 4(ATC #2) & 5 (ATC #3) post chemo; wks 2 , 4 & 9 post ATC #3 infusion; Day of ATC #4 (booster infusion), then wks 2, 4 & 8; & mon 6 and 1yr post ATC #4 (booster infusion)

  2. Determining the tumor response rate

    CT or PET Scan

    Measured: Approximately every 8 weeks to until 1 year

  3. Overall Survival

    CT or PET Scan

    Measured: Approximately every 8 weeks to until 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing FOLFOX6 and EGFRBi armed ATC Infusions in people with Colorectal Cancer and Cancer of Pancreas, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determining in a dose-escalation phase Ib trial the safety of 3 infusions of EGFR2Bi aATC, and a booster infusion after 3 months, for patients with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer. (time frame: 4 wks after chemo, prior to ATC infusion #2; 1 wk later prior to ATC infusion #3; Wks 2, 4 & 9 post ATC infusion #3; Wk 8 post ATC #4 (booster)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01420874, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 May 2023.
